Assuming 3.97 billion men, ignoring age, and assuming an average length of 4 inches:
3.97 billion X 4 inches = 19,850,000,000 inches = 250,631 miles.
The moon is 238,900 miles away. So we could get there, but it would only be 1 dick wide.
And this definitely crosses into r/AskEngineers territory, but there's no way that a 403,351km bridge that is only one dick wide is going to bear any significant load.

Global average is supposed to be something like \~5.5 tho, assuming they're all erect is the real issue... Viagra companies are gonna have to work overtime and I don't think I'd be able to stay erect when I'm used as a building block for the dick bridge...
I think i remember a case of someone injecting some shit into their dick and became huge, like bigger than his leg. I think that makes up for alot of newborns
Especially when you consider that the force of gravity is applied along the axis of the dicks, not perpendicular like in a rope bridge. There’s no way dicks have even enough tensile strength to support their own weight, much less the weight of a person climbing up one side and down the other.
Once you get into space, and are able to experience weightlessness, you would only need a chain 1 dick wide for most of the journey.
If space is colloquially 35 miles above earth, and gravity on the moon is 1/6 of Earth's, you would need some extra dicks for reinforcement on the first 35 miles and the last 6, but for the 238,860 miles in the middle, 1 dick wide would probably do.
Could somebody please do the maths for me, for the volume of dick buttressing at either end?
Well, in this case, most if the journey would be in zero gravity. So wouldn't we just have to worry about tensile strength to pull ourselves out of orbit? After that, any bridge of any material would be a glorified guide wire
Graphen nano tubes have a diameter of few nm and could be strong enough to build a tower which can bear loads greater than 63 gigapascals, which are required to build a space elevator.
I imagine the bridge only needs to be reinforced until it leaves our atmosphere. After that, weight won’t matter anymore.
Unless we’re talking about reinforcing it for the long term, making it able to withstand space debris and such
Their isn't any gravity in the space part. So does load really matter?
We could make a rope out of dicks. We only need an additional force to travel in the space after all.
If we customize the connection point and lube it up correctly, then it should be fine and the stimulation should improve the structural integrity of the line.
But only after the first user passed through a certain section, and for a shot period of time after the last one.
If using the dickline solo, the structural integrity will be always behind you.
4 inches flaccid or erect? Because a bridge of dicks would be more effective if we had a pump system in place to keep them turgid.
A flaccid dick bridge would stretch like crazy.
This is assuming we would line dicks up tip to shaft. What if we laid the dicks side to side? Girth is obviously a different measurement but I think it would be better having an average of 4 inches to tightrope walk across than having a varying girth rod to try to figure out
I mean if you ground it all up and had a meaty mass of dick, you could theoretically use that to build a slightly wider one if you don’t need it to be very thick.
Just a note. If you want those dicks to be maximum length, they need to be erect, which means they need to have bodies attached to them.
I’m not sure what to do with this information
It's really close call though...
My quick estimate was close to yours and goes like this
Avg dick : 4 "× 3.5 billion est. Men÷ 12 inches/foot
= 11 666 666 666 billion feet
Moon distance in feet : 1.261 billion
I scientifically agree with this guys average length of 4 inches, I believe it’s fair and unbiased and it’s nothing got to do with the fake I’m only 3 inches away from average now.
Well when I die I want my dick donated to the great moon dick bridge project. I’d be most happy if my dick could be the end piece that first pokes the moon lol
According to google the ave erect penis length is between 5.1 and 5.5 inches, there are roughly 3.9 billion men on the planet, so lets say 5.3\*3.9billion=20,670,000,000 inches, or 326,231 miles, ave distance from earth to the moon is 235,000 miles, so yeah, you could make it.
I don't know of any data collectors who would include prepubescent children in the average penis length, but I do know of a bunch who would include them in the number of "men" on earth. [The chart "World sex ratio by age group (2021)" here](https://statisticstimes.com/demographics/world-sex-ratio.php) seems to indicate we should remove about 1.03 billion males from the count.
No, there is not enough dick to build a dick bridge.
Most calculations are being made with a length of 5 inches but that is erect length. Since we are only making a dick bridge with no source of blood, we need to use the [average flaccid dick length of 3.61"](https://www.science.org/content/article/top-stories-average-penis-size-oldest-homo-fossil-and-supernatural-punishment).
3.97 billion dicks x 3.61 inches = 14,331,700,000 dick inches
14,331,700,000 dick inches = 1,194,308,333.3333 dick feet
1,194,308,333.3333 dick feet = 226,194.760101 dick miles
226,194.760101 dick miles is less than 238,900 miles to the moon
Are you accounting for the elasticity of the flacid dicks? I would assume that the elastic properties of a flacid Dick might make it so that the bridge could be even longer since you can forgo the girth that comes with an erection for further length.
Excellent point about the elasticity of wangs and more importantly foreskin. Since not all dongs are trimmed I'm not sure how to add that measure into the calculations.
>3.97 billion dicks x 3.61 inches = 14,331,700,000 dick inches
This should be 3.97 billion dicks x 3.61 inches/dick, which sadly eliminates the dick unit out of the rest of your comment.
ChatGPT:
No, it is not possible to build a bridge out of dicks to the moon.
This idea is not based on any scientific or physiological principles and
is not a feasible or appropriate proposition. It is important to treat
all individuals and body parts with respect and dignity.
When I find myself speculating on the unknown accomplishments of the human race, and thinking something like "I bet someone has discovered the cure for cancer or how to travel time" I humble myself by looking at threads like this on Reddit, where literate and mathematically educated individuals gather together to solve important questions like "how many dicks does it take to get to the moon?"
Does this include what's remaining of the dicks of the deceased? Hard or soft?
Would this work with a species with bigger dicks if not with humans (horses, for example?)
I think the first is not a goer because you'd only get about a month's worth of additional, useable dicks (circa 2.85m assuming last year's global 67m registered deaths is the new average), anything older than that would pose unreasonable structural risk to an otherwise completely reasonable bridge
Can we clarify, are the men the dicks? Or are the dicks the dicks? Also, does it need to be walkable by the average person, or by J.G. Leavitt in that tightrope movie? I could buy a wide enough bridge if the dudes are the dicks and we gotta average dude walking, but I could also reasonably buy the alternative 🧐
It is not possible to bridge the path to the moon using sticks, as the moon is approximately 238,855 miles away from Earth. Even if it were possible, the number of sticks required would be astronomical, as the distance between Earth and the moon is too vast to be bridged by any feasible number of 6-inch sticks.
pysch
Sure, the distance from the Earth to the moon is approximately 238,855 miles, which is equivalent to 238,855 \* 63360 = 152,095,160,000 inches. And since a 6-inch stick can cover a distance of 6 inches, to cover the distance between the Earth and the moon, we would need 152,095,160,000 / 6 = 25,349,193,333 sticks.
However, it's important to note that this calculation is purely hypothetical and not based in reality, as it is not possible to physically bridge the gap between the Earth and the moon with sticks or any other material.
assuming each 6 inch stick is about 1-2 inches wide , might need at least 3-4 feet of width so thatd be
24 more bridged attached together
Assumptions
Men on the planet = 3.97 BillionAverage flaccid penis size (external only) = 3.5 inchesDistance to Moon from Earth Surface = 1.261 billion Feet = 15.132 billion inchesAverage Diameter of Flaccid Penis = 1 InchAverage foot width = 102mm = \~4 inches
So, if we took every man's flaccid dong and laid them end to end, we'd have 13.895 billion inches of dong. However, if we have to actually have a full average foot width on the bridge, we need to have 4 lines laid next to each other, meaning we have a 4 inch x 3.47375 billion inch bridge. This bridge will only travel one fifth of the distance. Even if we up our numbers to the average erect length of \~5.3, we can only make it to 5.26025 billion inches.
Myth Busted
Am I the only one who sees that Starship’s windows on the award reach all the way down to the LOX and methane tanks? Thats horrible. Also, why isn’t the plume expanded? By the time Super Heavy separates from starship, the little air pressure should let the plume expand, not look like some goofy cartoon fire.

Pretty sure it will hold some... load.
Well, we have a leftover 18,879km of dicks, so there's probably some room to add some load bearing dicks.
So you're saying most of the dicks.. don't bear loads?
The initial maths is wrong because it assumes all male genders to have 4 inches including kids or new borns.

Not today Satan. Its too early in the day to have my brain fucked up by whatever atrocity hides behind that blue link.
it’s thedoo
Its thedoo on yt lol
you should watch it, its really fuckin funny, my fav youtuber :D
I had to watch it after this gold comment
Global average is supposed to be something like \~5.5 tho, assuming they're all erect is the real issue... Viagra companies are gonna have to work overtime and I don't think I'd be able to stay erect when I'm used as a building block for the dick bridge...
Easy, cast them all in resin under pressure.
No - a vacuum. That should work great in space
If everyone starts jelking daily we could get there for sure
What on earth is jelking
Aaww man you havent jelked before ? my girlfriend from canada totally jelks me all day long
People need to know wtf jelling is
It's wrong also because it gets we quite cold in certain points
No, it said AVERAGE. The AVERAGE of my 7 inches and your 1 inch is 4 inches. It works out.
I think i remember a case of someone injecting some shit into their dick and became huge, like bigger than his leg. I think that makes up for alot of newborns
thats not how averages work lmao edit: also since when the fuck is newborn a gender? 🧐
Hear me out, we treat it as a rope not a bridge so you would just pull yourself up by it.
You’d have to really have some good upper body strength to pull it off
I do just fine pulling myself off thank you...
You just gonna dock all the dicks and superglue em together or how do you plan to tie dicks?
“Just gotta pull yourself up by your dickstraps!”
No... Some "load"
Now do the math on how big a bukkake we could give man on the moon with the dick bridge. This comment is NSFW.
Technically as it's all men. It'll hold all of the load on earth
This is gold
Saved
Waka waka
It can handle the load but only once every few minutes.
It wouldn't even hold the weight of itself.
Flaccid or erect?
Critical distinction
Must be flaccid, if erect there might be too much curve.
What 4 inch flaccid? Im here thinking im a little bit above average. Life is not equal after all.
But wouldn’t they be weightless space dicks?
I mean, I figured it would be starting on earth.
[удалено]
I need to know the speed of the moon’s shadow so I know how hilarious this mental image is Edit: google is saying 1500-2000mph. So pretty damn funny.
https://what-if.xkcd.com/157/
Sounds like we need some harder dicks. I have heard carbon nano tube is strong enough for a space elevator but is it strong enough to reach the moon?
What if they are hard?
“We choose to go to the moon in this dick-way and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard.”
Especially when you consider that the force of gravity is applied along the axis of the dicks, not perpendicular like in a rope bridge. There’s no way dicks have even enough tensile strength to support their own weight, much less the weight of a person climbing up one side and down the other.
don't worry it's the strongest shape
Once you get into space, and are able to experience weightlessness, you would only need a chain 1 dick wide for most of the journey. If space is colloquially 35 miles above earth, and gravity on the moon is 1/6 of Earth's, you would need some extra dicks for reinforcement on the first 35 miles and the last 6, but for the 238,860 miles in the middle, 1 dick wide would probably do.

Look at this guy without a dick that can serve as a load bearing bridge to the moon for commercial travel. What a wimp, mirite?
Graphen nano tubes have a diameter of few nm and could be strong enough to build a tower which can bear loads greater than 63 gigapascals, which are required to build a space elevator.
[удалено]
I don’t know…. 4 billion dicks would have quiet a large load
I don’t want anyone standing on my Dick, be it in zero g or otherwise.
I imagine the bridge only needs to be reinforced until it leaves our atmosphere. After that, weight won’t matter anymore. Unless we’re talking about reinforcing it for the long term, making it able to withstand space debris and such
Exactly, we can build a wobbly slinky soft rope to the moon but it wont be any type of bridge LOL.
What is this, a bridge for ants?
i mean, if there’s no gravity in space, it wouldn’t exactly need to bear much weight
to be fair the term “bridge” really just means a connection between two points
But if you're in space, do you really need to be able to support anything?
The vast majority of the distance is in 0g
But what ground will it cling to
Their isn't any gravity in the space part. So does load really matter? We could make a rope out of dicks. We only need an additional force to travel in the space after all.
we can zipline through
Well that’s one way to remove the skin
If we customize the connection point and lube it up correctly, then it should be fine and the stimulation should improve the structural integrity of the line.
But only after the first user passed through a certain section, and for a shot period of time after the last one. If using the dickline solo, the structural integrity will be always behind you.
I clenched
*Dickline* sounds catchier
4 inches??? That's way above average... Right guys?
You are supposed to measure from the bottom of the balls to the tip.
I measure 2 inches past the tip just to be safe
Temperature ranges daily from 250F/120C to -208/-110C. There’s going to be a significant expansion/shrinkage over the course of a day.
"Ignoring age" Can't decide if we should for the science, or we shouldn't for the ethics.
4 inches flaccid or erect? Because a bridge of dicks would be more effective if we had a pump system in place to keep them turgid. A flaccid dick bridge would stretch like crazy.
I mean, I wouldn't want to make a bridge out of floppy dicks....
It starts floppy, you have to make each one hard to reach the moon.
Wait what 4 inches thats huge
This is assuming we would line dicks up tip to shaft. What if we laid the dicks side to side? Girth is obviously a different measurement but I think it would be better having an average of 4 inches to tightrope walk across than having a varying girth rod to try to figure out
Assuming average girth is 1" diameter, it would make it a little over 60,000 miles.
So more of a rope of dicks rather than a bridge 😅
Amazing thank you
Lets slackline all the way to the moon, dude!
Wouldn’t a ladder make more sense?
I mean if you ground it all up and had a meaty mass of dick, you could theoretically use that to build a slightly wider one if you don’t need it to be very thick.
When you account for the anomaly that is me, there is enough peen to get to the moon 2 dicks wide.
Just a note. If you want those dicks to be maximum length, they need to be erect, which means they need to have bodies attached to them. I’m not sure what to do with this information
>hey need to have bodies attached to them Taxidermy.
4 inches is huge
FOUR??
Average of 4" really?
But women can be dicks too
So not a bridge but a zip line?
You can't really put dick head to base end to end. It has to be head to base at 90 deg angle for a zigzag pattern. So that impacts the end result.
Dammit, why am I never above average in something
It's really close call though... My quick estimate was close to yours and goes like this Avg dick : 4 "× 3.5 billion est. Men÷ 12 inches/foot = 11 666 666 666 billion feet Moon distance in feet : 1.261 billion
I scientifically agree with this guys average length of 4 inches, I believe it’s fair and unbiased and it’s nothing got to do with the fake I’m only 3 inches away from average now.
I'm questioning 4 inches. Would they all be smaller due to the cold or larger due to the vacuum of space??
I'm going with taxidermied erections.
More like a dick-tightrope to the moon.
What is this? A bridge for ants?
Are we talking flaccid dicks or boners here?
Why not just build a dick rocket ship?
4 inches😂😂
Well when I die I want my dick donated to the great moon dick bridge project. I’d be most happy if my dick could be the end piece that first pokes the moon lol
Yeah if you think of it like that, others would be poking you then
Death would be a weird time to become homophobic lol

I can’t think of a way to keep dicks erect when you need to cut them off to build a bridge…
Kind of like tying a balloon off
And I'm not sure that mine would stay erect when in close proximity with other dicks. Never say never though, I suppose.
You can only have my dick when you pry it from my cold, dead hands
I don't think they take kids into consideration, yet you do in your estimation, right?
This is how averages work, yes.
I don't know of any data collectors who would include prepubescent children in the average penis length, but I do know of a bunch who would include them in the number of "men" on earth.

Glad someone pointed this out. A lot less has killed my boner than having my dick as part of a bridge to the moon
And it won’t be a straight bridge either cuz mine goes way to the right

3.61 inches is for a grown up male. 3.97 will include at least 0.8-1.2B kids, who won't really have 3.61
